Proceedings of the Society being conducted with regularity, 

 and at the usual annual expenditure. 



Your Committee find that the Liabilities on the 3]st of 

 December present a trifling increase of £lll 7*- 6fi?. There 

 is an increase of Assets, as compared with the previous year, 

 of £689 5s. Ad., arising principally from the proceeds of the 

 Museum Sales, which can only, however, be considered as an 

 extraordinary and accidental source. 



The arrears of Annual Subscriptions amount to the sum of 

 £449, notwithstanding the addition to the number of Elec- 

 tions, which have reached an annual average of no less than 

 103 in the last four years. 



This steady increase in the number of Fellows, notwith- 

 standing numerous deaths and some resignations during the 

 year 1855, your Committee regard as a subject of much 

 congratulation, as demonstrating in the most satisfactory 

 manner that general interest in the operations of the Society 

 continues to be unabated. 



The Committee beg, in conclusion, to recommend to the 

 attention of the Fellows the enlarged statement of the Ac- 

 counts which accompanies this Report, affording extremely 

 detailed information on the various items of Expenditure, and 

 illustrating the exactness with which the books have been 

 prepared and submitted to them by the Accountant, Mr. 

 Leigh, to whom, as on former occasions, the Committee de- 

 sire to record their acknowledgments.
